FTFA:But, two months later, in January last year, she was rushed to A&E vomiting blood. Doctors discovered that half her stomach lining had eroded away.

If the stomach thing happened, I would buy that she was consuming that much on a bad day.

I mean, I know alcoholics can handle a lot, but she's talking about approx. 3 liters of vodka in a day. What is that? A shot ever 20-30 mins for 24 hours straight? Or a shot every 15 minutes all day, and 8 hours for sleep. How did that not kill her?

People who drink regularly need to drink more than light drinkers or non-drinkers to get the same effects because their bodies adapt to deal with alcohol. If she'd been a heavy drinker since 15 she must have built up one hell of a tolerance. I'm not saying she didn't inflate the quantities but I don't think she is exaggerating that much. If anything I think she is inflating the vodak claim or it was some weak-ass stuff.

Single ounce shots, she's basically at one every 15 mins... without any sleep to get to 3l / 24h. You were right earlier, BS for the win.

I'll buy she was inflating her claims. But honestly, I find it hard to believe she was drinking 3 liters of Vodka every 16 waking hours, that's some 80-90 shots. Wouldn't that volume of ethanol be fatal?

It was 2 liters. I hate to throw my personal experiences in here but I have consumed 30 5.5% beers in one day, 2 bottles of strong wine in 6 hours, one bottle of makers mark in a day and been fine in each case after sleeping a normal 6-8 hours. I don't think I could do all of that in one day and be functional. I did find this chart while looking for fatal doses of alcohol. I have issue with the decreased libido claim. Unless they are talking about pushing rope, I'm ready to fark just about any girl at 2am.

Well 2 liters of vodka, plus a bottle of wine and a liter of cider and 6 lagers. I'd say that's approx another liter of vodka (hence the initial guesstimate of approx 3 liters). I've drunken a fifth of makers in a day too. But I'm damn sure two handles of Makers mark would be fatal. I guess my initial point was (as we discussed) her list of what she drank must be inflated, otherwise I don't see how she'd survive, much less to do that every day. 8 hours of sleep surely isn't enough to bring her BAC back to zero, so if she did that every day she'd be ratcheting up her BAC higher and higher. 8 hours should only be enough time to rid her body of less than a half liter of vodka.

They're Imperial liters which are much smaller than the American liter.

That's not fair. I know neither of them pay for TF, but I don't see how that makes one of them smaller

That reminds me of that clip in Family Guy where they rip on Europeans for using different terminology than Americans
